Overcoming My Fear of Driving

hello! i have a post about driving anxiety on my page, and what’s helped me tbh is practicing more. i know it’s easier said than done, but i had to learn to not let my anxiety possess me and become my identity, and control what i do and don’t do. so even when i was anxious, i would get behind the wheel and practice. it really was a big F U to my anxiety and it felt so so so good every single time. when you do drive more (not “if” because i know you can do it), you’re going to realize that the world and life and driving in general is NOT as scary as your mind is making it out to be and you’ll feel really super silly like i did. seriously - we don’t often realize that something is only as terrifying as your anxiety is making it out to be. we give it too much credit and acceptance. you have to make the conscious mental effort to be more aware of this and choose to not limit your perception and analyzation of a situation. don’t get me wrong, i still get anxiety about driving, but it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, and each time you’ll get better. trust meeee. i promise. we all have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. or else, we won’t grow. this rant was so long but i hope it helps. please don’t hesistant to dm me if you need advice or motivation (and anyone else who reads this)! i believe in you!!! please keep driving. 🫵🥹
